The vehicle will shut off when driving without any warning. it will go into limp mode or completely die when on a major highway. lights will start flashing and power steering will go out.
I was driving down the highway. there were no warning lights on my dashboard aside from the tpms light. there was a loud pop noise, so i pulled over to check it out. within 30 seconds smoke came from under the hood and quickly turned from white to black. then the vehicle caught on fire. it was completely burned with nothing but the trunk left in tact.
I have a repeated electrical issue with my car. at first, i thought my issue was diagnosed improperly but i was recently on the nhtsa page and found over 20 complaints that expressed the same exact issue i have been having. that issue being the fact that my car, when in motion will completely shut off on me and go into neutral. this will happen without any warning and for me has happened both times on the highway while going 75 mph. once the car stalls out, the power steering will also go out in about 30 seconds and the engine will completely shut off at that time. therefore, you have about 30 seconds to roll your car to a safe spot in order to avoid a crash. there is no turning the car off and then back on, as when you try to do so all of the dash lights will come on and the engine will not start back up as the battery is dead or close to it. if you are lucky you can get jumped but the battery becomes so drained that it cannot even hold a charge for a miles worth of power. both times ...
Charging system problems, have replaced alternater and battery, still have problems the car will drive for 20 min and then start acting up like lose of power and not go anywere then just die at worst time possible, went through the whole thing bunch of times, did a test of charging it will read 14 volts but then within 20 min it will quit charging and go to 12.3 and just keep going down until dead. it sucks nobody has a solution that i can find but alot of same issues out there exact same but no fixes what happening with this
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 nissan murano. when the vehicle accelerated, there was a loss of power and a delay at times before finally gaining speed. in other instances, the vehicle had a drastic reduction in speed. the alternator assembly was replaced more than twice, but the failure continued. the vehicle was excluded from nhtsa campaign number: 05v319000 (electrical system); however, the vehicle exhibited the same failure as the recall campaign. moses nissan (300 maccorkle ave, st albans, wv 25177, (304) 727-2921) was notified of the failure. in addition, the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 18v916000 (service brakes, hydraulic), but a repair appointment had not been scheduled. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was not available.
On a main road parked off of a highway, car battery and brake light started flickering, suddenly as i tried to pull onto main road and car randomly forcefully stopped as if went to neutral wouldn't accelerate in any gear. i had to roll the car back into a parking spot quick as possible as there was oncoming traffic. i then turned car off then on and more lights on the dash illuminated, abs, brake, battery, and trackion control as well. i turned the car off to then try restarting again and wouldn't do anything as, completely dead. had to leave the car overnight parked til the following day for a tow since it never started back up. waiting on what caused this problem, definitely unsafe, could have caused a accident due to going into a neutral like mode as driving onto a main road and near a highway
Car stopped in the middle of the highway and would not start unless it was jumped. it has done this several time and is very dangerous. it appears to be the alternator. i have seen man forums on this same situation for the 2009 nissan murano and i supprised to see that nothing has been done.
While driving vehicle lost power, when trying to accelerate no power and noticed drop in rpm. also battery and brake lights flickering. was able to get car home however a week later with my children in the car it happened again only this time it completely died, after having it towed home, after jump start vehicle started right up without hesitation, and ran fine. system checks good and battery is new less than 60 days. very dangerous as there is not warning to sudden loss of power and stalling. vehicle lights radiio etc all still work but vehicle won't start. nissan recalled earlier models alternator for same symptoms however not my vehicle year. same set up location as the 03-07 models same problems just no recall on 09 models. car has power lights radio etc just looses ability to accelerate and if engine stalls then requires boosting to be started again. runs fine after no warning lights and then without warning happens again.
My 2009 nissan murano lost power all of the sudden while deiving, took it to the locsl shop and i was told it was the alternator, proceed to replace it for a new one and yet it happened again, i have been looking in several forums and still have no clue about what it could be, checked new alternator and battery and they are working 'properly' please help
Two major problems i've had with my murano are the brakes loosing pressure causing me not to be able to brake in time, caused an accident on a roundabout. the second is the steering wheel lock column going out, causing my not to be able to start the vehicle
Vehicle shuts down completely with no warning as if it is being controlled by another power source. had battery checked and alternator replaced twice. also, had a diagnosis test performed multiple times. it yields no problems. the battery/brake light may come on prior to shut down. if it does, three seconds later vehicle is completely dead. usually the vehicle is in motion - just driving on a roadway. once shut down, you cannot move the vehicle and has to be towed.
The doors do not open inside or outside also the electric power doors sometimes work and sometimes don't
